There are some partnerships you don’t overthink.
When our Head of International Partnerships called about AmplifiHer 2026 in Yaoundé, Cameroon, it was a no-brainer. A one-day platform designed to move young female creatives from passion to structure? That is exactly the kind of room EscapeMag believes in.
We could not physically attend. EscapeMag shoot days were locked in, and production does not pause. But we were present in spirit, tracking conversations, waiting on media, and closely following the energy from Cameroon.
AmplifiHer was built around one clear theme: Visibility, Power and Ownership. What It Really Takes for Women to Thrive Creatively. And that framing matters. Because visibility without ownership is noise. Talent without structure fades. Power without information is fragile.
Convened and moderated by The Voice Jemma, the day brought together women across music, film, television, dance, digital content and creative entrepreneurship. Panels. Practical workshops. Group activities. Project presentations. Not surface-level inspiration. Real conversations about monetisation, intellectual property, professional standards and building careers that last.
As Jemma put it, “AmplifiHer is about helping women own their work, value their creativity, and build careers that are structured enough to last beyond a moment.”
At EscapeMag, we believe in women taking leadership positions across Africa’s creative economy. Not just as faces of campaigns, but as decision makers, founders, producers, policy voices and owners of their intellectual property.
Yaoundé showed us something important. The talent is already there. The ambition is already there. What matters now is infrastructure, clarity and ownership.
AmplifiHer came through like not just an event, but more of a bat signal. And we are proud to have stood behind it.
